Ready for Anything, Global Factory Maintenance Finds Its Fit with Isuzu

Moving capability

As can be expected in a business such as this, transport plays a central role in the company's growth.

Materials need to reach the workshop, finished fabrications must be delivered to customers and site crews need to travel with the tools required to complete installation work.

To keep up with the varied demands, GFM operates a fleet of more than 25 vehicles, including three Isuzu trucks purchased through Blacklocks Isuzu in Wodonga on the Victorian, New South Wales border.

The latest addition for GFM is an Isuzu NNR 45-150 Traypack Crew, selected for its ability to carry people, equipment and materials within one adaptable package.

"Depending on the job, the truck might be set up with extensive tooling and a secure canopy for a longer period on-site," Gerard said.

"On another project, we may need the tray for steel plating, long lengths of material or fabricated components.

"The crew cab gives us the flexibility to move our people in comfort while carrying the tools and load needed for the work. That versatility is a big advantage for us."
